What food have you never eaten but would really like to try？

[Mrs. Robinson]

One common food that comes to mind is shelf-stable milk in 6.75-ounce containers.

I don't use much milk these days and this would be very convenient for me if it tastes like the real thing.

Have any of you used this or a similar product?

When we were doing foster care-especially when we had the twin teenage boys-I would buy the shelf stable milk just to have on hand in case we ran out of "regular" milk. I kept some in the fridge,so that it was cold if they needed to use it. They never had a problem with it.

Turducken. It looks so deliciously decadent and rich.

I really dislike the blandness of turkey.... but I love Duck and have it often, so I would imagine that mix of turkey with the duck would take a little richness from the duck and add it to the turkey and would probably taste very nice

Several years ago we went to the last operating mustard mill in America. It was either in Lubec or Eastport, Maine (can't remember which). There were close to a dozen mills operating in that area at one time, solely to produce the mustard for packing sardines, mostly in Canada. Apparently in the early 1900's that was the preferred form of sardines in Canada and the US.

I've been to Lubec. I remember a cannery there

Friends had a cottage on Cathance Lake. OMG, the lobsters they bought right off the boat!! Thay had a cauldron in a firepit in the backyard to boil them in.

yes I have. I lived on the continent for many years and (unlike here) shark is easily available there caught fresh from the sea and straight into the fish markets and restaurants.. It's pretty meaty but fairly bland... I only had it a couple of times, and I'm pleased that I stopped because I heard people complaining that it sometimes tasted of ammonia. Apparently sharks pee through their skin so if you have to wash it very carefully before eating it and some restaurants and consumers weren't doing that.

Also like swordfish it's very high in Mercury...although I must admit to having had a lot more swordfish than Shark... but I stopped eating that too after a while after learning about the mercury content..

I had a sample of it one time. It was too salty and pretty fishy tasting to me. Didn't care for it.
